Hunton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hunton?
Yalding station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Is Hunton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
